Re: Pros and Cons of changing wheel sizes
I switched to all 18's on mine, I have 18X8 on the front and 18X9 on the rear. Front tires are the stock size and the rears are 255 40 18 which is basically the exact same height as the stock tires. For me the Pros and Cons were:
Pros - much less expensive rubber on the rear for autocrossing (Azenis 615), I am not as worried about bending one of the rear rims because there is more rubber between the rim and the road, if I do get a bent wheel, the aftermarket wheels that I got are cheaper and more readily available than the SRT wheels.
Con - Bumped me out of stock class for autocrossing.
I don't think the ride and handling changed much at all. I think the only changes would be due to the tires, not the wheels.
